Chris’ P.O.V.
Schoolmate pala ha?
Umiral na naman ang pagiging stubborn nitong si Andrea. Nasaktan ako doon ha?
“Sir, saan po tayo ngayon?” Tanong sa akin ni Mr. De Ocampo, siya ang secretary at driver ko. Napaka-efficient ng matandang ito. Actually, kahit na nasa 50 years old na ito, maasahan ko pa din siya sa lahat ng bagay. Ito ang secretary ni Dad. Since nag-full time na si Dad bilang administrator ng academy kaya sa akin na nagtatrabaho si Mr. De Ocampo. Para ko na nga din siyang ama eh.
“Pumunta tayo sa school ni Jessie.”
“Okay, Sir.”
Aayusin ko na din muna ang transfer ng anak ko sa school. Nahihirapan pa din itong mag-adjust. Maigi na lang at nasanay din ito sa wikang Pilipino, dahil Tagalog din naman ang first language namin sa bahay.
“Did you get, Ms. Tijares’ number?”
“Yes, I did.” Iniabot niya sa akin ang cellphone niya at kinopya ko agad ang number niya.
I dialed her number 0916*******.
Hello? Stella Tijares, who’s this?
“Why so formal, princess?”
C-chris?
“Yeah. I know you will recognize me if I will call you that. Let’s have dinner tonight. I’ll pick you up by six.”
Who the hell told you that I want to have dinner with you?
“Oh! Calm down, princess. I wont bite you. I just want to discuss some details regarding my resort.”
No way! I have a dinner date tonight with someone. Sorry, late ka nagsabi.
Kumulimlim ang mukha ko sa narinig. At sino naman ang ka-date nito? Si Jacob?
“Then, cancel it. Ako ang sasamahan mo tonight.” Madiin kong sabi. It’s not a request, rather a command.
No way! She said with anger.
“Say no, and I will pull-out my investment?”
You are a damn blackmailer Chris Monteclaro. I hate you!
“I love it when you say you hate me.” I grinned evily. She usually say it kapag nilalambing ko siya dati.
She did not replied.
“See you, later princess.”
